Azerbaijan and Armenia described progress toward “real peace” even as a constitutional dispute remains unresolved. Baku says it wants changes to Armenia’s constitution before a final peace deal is signed.
Peace negotiations in the South Caucasus have hinged on border, transit and legal issues after years of conflict. Constitutional change as a precondition is a stated Azerbaijani position in the cited briefing.
Calling the moment “real peace” while leaving the constitutional demand open shows both diplomatic language and an outstanding obstacle. The summary does not specify which constitutional clauses are at issue.
